The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 opened the Great Plains to westward settlement, and the public survey of 1855 by Charles A Manners and Joseph Ledlie along the Sixth Principal Meridian established the grid by which the expanse of the Great Plains was brought into scale. This title presents the Great Plains from a rare perspective.
